Nevada § 244A.775 - Determination of rate of tax levy

§ 244A.775. Determination of rate of tax levy

1. The board shall determine annually the amount of money necessary to pay the costs

of acquiring, operating and maintaining the system and shall fix a rate, not greater

than one-half cent per $100 of assessed valuation unless a different rate is established

pursuant to subsection 3, which, when levied upon every dollar of assessed valuation

of taxable property in the district, will raise that amount. 2. If the operation of the system has been delegated to the metropolitan police department,

it shall submit to the board before May 1 of each year a budget for the operation

of the system for the following fiscal year. The board shall consider the budget of the department in making its determination

of the amount of money necessary to be raised by taxation. 3. The maximum rate provided by subsection 1 for the levy of the tax may be increased

if the board so proposes to the registered voters of the district, specifying the

proposed rate, and the proposal is approved by a majority of the voters voting on

the question at a primary or general election or a special election called for that

purpose. 4. A special election may be held only if the board determines, by a unanimous vote,

that an emergency exists. The determination made by the board is conclusive unless it is shown that the board

acted with fraud or a gross abuse of discretion. An action to challenge the determination made by the board must be commenced within

15 days after the board's determination is final. As used in this subsection, “ emergency ” means any unexpected occurrence or combination of occurrences which requires immediate

action by the board to prevent or mitigate a substantial financial loss to the district

or county or to enable the board to provide an essential service to the residents

of the county. 5. The board shall levy and collect the tax upon the assessed valuation of all taxable

property in the district, in the same manner, at the same time and in addition to

other taxes levied by the board.
